Around Port Moresby - Sogeri Plateau - 4 Days
For those who are in Port Moresby for just a few days and are looking for a quick getaway from the city, and wanting more than a Day Tour from Port Moresby, this trip is perfect!

Over the course of 4 days/3 nights, you will have an opportunity to head east from the capital city to the Sogeri Plateau and experience nature at its finest. From incredible parks to exploring one of the most famous points of the Kokoda Trail - Ower's Corner - your fully guided tour is sure to impress.
This tour allows for a nice break from the heat of the city while offering some birdwatching and light trekking/walking.

How was your trip and guide?
“Thomas Payape and Tony Hateya from PNGVT looked after me very well. There was a funeral of a PNG pilot on the land next to Lakwanda Lodge and there were over a thousand Huli people there for 4 to 5 days.I arrived on the day that they were preparing the mumu with 60 pigs to be slaughtered. Thomas was able to use my iPhone to get great movies shot of the preparations.Since I had walked with a student from Tari High School to Margarima (2 days I think) in 1974, retracing Tari to Ambua Gap & Margarima was probably the highlight for me.I cannot recommend Rapheal Kogun enough!! He is very honest and cared greatly about my safety. Same with Thomas Paypae in Tari.The Guest house in Goroka was excellent, with ensuite bathroom and a continental breakfast provided – also very clean.In Madang, Raphel told me that there were pirates at the moment, so we did not go to Dazib guesthouse, but stayed in the Lutheran Gusethouse in Madang – again excellent.And would you recommend this tour to other adventurers who'd like to come to PNG?
Definitely. I had a great time thanks. Best holiday yet."-Ted Sullivan, PNG Essential Odyssey
